I want to know if there is a possibility to use svg graphics with libgdx. I know that Libgdx itself can not handle svgs but is there a possibility with an extension or a method which pre creates PNG's/JPG's out of the SVG's and pass them to Libgdx?

Can't you just open the SVG with a software like PhotoShop/Gimp, export as PNG, use the PNGs (within a TextureAtlas)? – TomGrill Games May 05 '17 at 07:35

Problem is that the textures are heavy files (about 1440x2565) so that they are sharp :/ – Tim Jansen May 05 '17 at 08:57

No, currently not supported.
For simple shape rendering you can use ShapeRenderer. You can't parse .svg file because of cross platform support.
For android you can use https://github.com/pents90/svg-android

not sure you may ask on LibGDX forum ? I don't think there is any plan/milestone for the same ? – Abhishek Aryan May 05 '17 at 09:06

not able to implement due to cross platform support, check this [issue](https://code.google.com/archive/p/libgdx/issues/507) – Abhishek Aryan May 05 '17 at 09:11

No we can't use, At build time there is conversion from vector images to PNGs. And it's with Android, we need it for LibGDX. – Abhishek Aryan May 05 '17 at 09:45
